Hotfixes for November 15th, More Kirin Tor World Quests, FatbossTV Helya Video Guide

For today's news roundup, Blizzard has confirmed that Kirin Tor quests like Come il Vento can spawn outside of Emissaries, there is a preview of upcoming November 15th hotfixes, and FatbossTV has released their Helya Normal + Heroic Video Guide.

Kirin Tor World Quests

Blizzard has confirmed on Twitter that Kirin Tor World Quests can spawn outside of the Emissary. The Kirin Tor World Quest that spawned today was the new puzzle Like the Wind--Wowhead users have left both helpful tips and funny comments commiserating on the tricky nature of this quest.

(Beast Mastery) Legaspirito now increases the player's damage, Hati's damage, and the player's pet damage by 5%, then increases by 0.5% for every additional point put into the Infinite Progression Artifact Trait.

(Discipline) Fiamma Proibita now increases the player's damage and healing by 4%, then increases by 0.4% for every additional point into the Infinite Progression Artifact Trait.

Shadow: Voidform's Insanity drain now begins at 8 Pazzia per second (down from 9), but will increase at a 10% faster rate

Developers' Notes: We want to reduce the maximum amount of time that Resa alla Pazzia can be maintained, without significantly impacting Shadow otherwise. Our intent in this hotfix is that it's still effective to use Resa similarly to how it is currently used, but that its maximum potential in ideal situations is slightly less extreme.

Developers' Notes: Frost Death Knight damage continues to be higher than we'd like following the changes in Aggiornamento 7.1. For Blood, we no longer feel the damage reduction on Ebollizione del Sangue is necessary. We plan to make a broader set of changes for them (and other tanks) in Aggiornamento 7.1.5.

Developers' Notes: Holy Paladins are too mana efficient in current PvP gameplay. We're reducing their overall regeneration, as well as adding a mana cost to Crociato Vendicatore, since it was essentially mana-free healing.

Developers' Notes: Stormkeeper is at the center of a combination of cooldowns and procs that can cause extraordinarily high damage in a very short time. We're reducing its impact but increasing Elemental's damage overall to compensate.

Developers' Notes: Patch 7.1 changed the design of Afflizione Instabile, and our initial tuning on the dispel damage was simply too low. For Destruction, we want spending Soul Shards on Chaos Bolt to feel rewarding when weighed against the alternatives.

Quests

The weekly event quest “I migliori” should no longer be cleared from the quest log when logging in on a low-level character.

Players no longer receive any sound following the Quick Join notifications when friends or guild members queue.

Hotfix Preview

Blizzard

With this week’s maintenance period, we plan to apply several hotfixes to classes (particularly in regards to PvP balance) and item rewards. We’d like to share with you a preview of those changes, along with some insight from the development team.

Shadow: Forma del Vuoto's Insanity drain now begins at 8 Insanity per second (down from 9), but will increase at a 10% faster rate

Our intent in this hotfix is that it's still effective to use Resa alla Pazzia similarly to how it is currently used, but that its maximum potential in ideal situations is slightly less extreme.

Items

All Legion Legendary items have had their item level increased by 15. This change will be applied retroactively.

All items from the Prova del Valore have had their base item level increased by 5. This change will be applied retroactively.

Shadow: Voidform’s Insanity drain now begins at 8 Insanity per second (down from 9), but will increase at a 10% faster rateDevelopers’ Notes: We want to reduce the maximum amount of time that Surrender to Madness can be maintained, without significantly impacting Shadow otherwise. Our intent in this hotfix is that it’s still effective to use Surrender similarly to how it is currently used, but that its maximum potential in ideal situations is slightly less extreme.

Not surprised by this at all. Basically a nerf to Spriest damage on fights like Xavius, which allows Blizzard to make more fights like it (Murozond is another such fight) without having to strongly balance around Surrender to Madness existing.

Yay.

Was wondering about that. I guess people didn't dislike Kirin Tor WQs as much as expected, which may be why they didn't spawn outside of emissary to begin with. The one I can see has a pretty nice reward too..

Dardo del Caos bonus damage increased? As if getting hit for 1.5 M was not enough.

Doh, was hoping ele shammies would get a lot more loving. Having to switch to enhance for them is not fun; good thing it's just an alt.

Most of these pvp changes are very welcome imo! Although I don't understand the need to buff affliction warlocks any further, but that might just be me.

Regardless if its for pve or pvp this is a problem And for pvp its even harder becouse you cant cobtroll the stats you get and they are hold your hands For new players may be good but what about the older people

Kirin tor WQ's are my favourites as when you complete the emmisary cache thing, you can get a rep token too :)
